IT Center West

- the cluster for the ICT industry in West Sweden

IT Center West´s vision is to transform the Göteborg region into one of Europe´s leading ICT regions. Our main field of activity is analyzing selling points that are unique to the region.

We market the region's ICT competence on an international scale in collaboration with Invest Sweden. We investigate companies' interest in participating in the formation of clusters that involve enough companies to constitute a value chain.

We then package and market these clusters

to stimulate expansion in existing companies and attract new ones.

The strong presence of traditional industrial companies - which are perhaps the most important procurers of IT competence - is a major success factor for the ICT branch in the Gothenburg region.

So is the access to high-quality research and education and the development of unique, world leading competence in telematics, microwave technology, and visualization.

Invest ICT & Green IT
By the beginning of 2008, we are engaged in two large parallel projects:

Invest ICT (www.investict.org) a co-operation between Business Region Göteborg, Invest Sweden, Invest in Skåne, Luleå Näringsliv and Stockholm Business Region (SBR) was created to help ICT-companies to get in touch with international partners and investors.

Green ICT, a project aiming for creating a competence center within Green ICT. We arrange seminars and conferences in co-operation with IT&Telekomföretagen and Dataföreningen.
